== Prayer Chain edits and general knowledge ==

The first issue your recent edits, and easiest to explain, is that the heading read "Double Vinyl". ], in particular the section on ] states
:Use sentence-style capitalization, not title-style capitalization, in section and table headings. Capitalize the first letter of the first word, but leave the rest lower case (except for proper names and other items that would ordinarily be capitalized in running text). Thus {{xt|Section headings}}, ''not'' {{!xt|Section Headings}}; {{xt|Previous club}}, ''not'' {{!xt|Previous Club}}.
So the heading in the discography section of that article should be {{xt|Double vinyl}}, not {{!xt|Double Vinyl}}.

The second issue is your addition. The album was formatted incorrectly. Misplaced Pages uses italics, not quotes for album titles. See ]. As ] states, "Integers from zero to nine are spelled out in words". The source is a ]. It's better to use secondary sources. You can try using a search engine to find if a reliable news source has picked-up on the re-issue, or you can check the sites listed at ]. There was a space between the period and your reference. See ]. Finally, it adds information that is probably not necessary for an encyclopedic understanding of the issue. My sentence,
: They are working on a double-vinyl re-release of ''Mercury'' to mark the 20th anniversary of the album.
is more succinct than yours (this is how it reads after I cleaned it up)
: In April 2015, the band announced they would be releasing ''Mercury'' on double vinyl through ] to mark the 20th anniversary of the album. Funding for the album was achieved within three hours of the announcement. It is due to be released in July 2015.
Why is the date of the announcement important? The reference will state when the announcement was made. Is it important to state that it's a double-vinyl disc? The fact that it done on Kickstarter will be supported in the reference, and they're not actually releasing it ''through'' Kickstarter since it's not a label, they're using it to fund the work. I suspect that the album will also be available through direct sales. How quickly the project achieved funding isn't supported at the Kickstarter site/reference and the release date is an estimate so shouldn't be stated.

One last thing, adding an ], even if it is brief, is helpful in understanding why you made an edit when editors browse the article history and your contributions. ] (]) 19:32, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The Penguin Dance

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as The Penguin Dance, to Misplaced Pages. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. —C.Fred (talk) 05:54, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 23:55, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Using IMDB as a source

IMDB is not considered a WP:RS reliable source since - like Misplaced Pages - much of the content can be edited by users. Sometimes IMDB is adequate as a weak source, since some of the information does come from official press releases but better sources are preferred. -- Horkana (talk) 01:08, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Misplaced Pages is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Pizza appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe this important core policy. Thank you. OhNoitsJamie 22:44, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Edit warring on Hamish & Andy

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Hamish & Andy. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. In particular the three-revert rule states that making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording and content that gains consensus among editors. If unsuccessful, then do not edit war even if you believe you are right. Post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. MikeWazowski (talk) 04:54, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for edit warring. Note that your only edits since returning from a two-month break involve reverting in your text, the same material you tried to add in May and August of this year. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Ckatzspy 05:20, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

Disambiguation link notification for March 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Departure Songs, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page French (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
